we started the one hour swim at 6:55

whitney counted
started out easy didn't want to die
hoped to keep up with larry
in the first 1000 I had arm cramps then they went away, I wound up lapping Larry 3 times
towards the end I felt like I was close to getting calf cramps but I didn't get a full on cramp

whitney put a kick board in the water after each 1,000

Tech suits are made from hydrophobic material, meaning they repel water, but I've noticed as some suits age they don't repel water as well as they did when they were new. Further they stretch out and don't squeeze as tightly losing their compression.
